Thomas P.M. Barnett :: Weblog: Europe on Iran, China on North Korea, US on the sidelines: "Europe leads on Iran, while China hosts the six-party talks. If nothing else, this signals the limits of U.S. military power right now: our inability to do the SysAdmin job in Iraq means there?s little we can do on either Iran or North Korea. Ultimately, we?ll end up living with the consequences of this strategic weakness, which is why we?d be so much better off seeking dramatically better answers in the short-term with serious leadership instead of watching from the sidelines. Iran will get the bomb, and Europe will end up making the deal. North Korea will eventually implode, and what Asia will get is a dominating China with America nowhere in sight. "
